Over the past few months and years, you’ve been hearing about the
impact that artificial intelligence will have on daily life and work. Today,
robots are replacing humans for certain jobs, there’s lots of buzz around deep
learning, and people can talk to chatbots. But what is AI, and how will it
affect learning and development? How can you start experimenting with AI and
the possibilities of chatbots for learning?

This session will provide a short introduction to AI and the good
practices that are already being established in L&D. You’ll start by setting
up your very own chatbot environment; then you’ll define the purpose of your
chatbot and start writing your first scenarios. Once you’ve done that, you will
select an application and learn how to integrate your chatbot into the app
(Messenger, Slack, etc.). One thing is certain: You’ll get to know the
possibilities of AI and how to use it in your own organization, starting with
your own L&D chatbot!
